I always thought Darphin was a skincare only kind of brand, but apparently they offer some makeup, too. I recently tried Darphin Lip Gloss in Illusion ($22.00), which is a cool, light pink color. From their website, lipglosses are described as, "softly enhanc[ing] your lips natural colour and...
If you know me, I'm not a big drugstore shopper when it comes to makeup. I just prefer the experience at the counter, and we all know MAC is a brand near and dear to my heart. So when you have enough makeup to paint ten faces, you just don't feel as compelled to seek out alternatives at the...
Giorgio Armani's Lip Wax in Cardinal Red (#5) ($26.00) is described as a "bright, transparent red" in color. Lip Wax is a new product designed as a compact lipstick that's a "blush of color" once applied to lips. It has GA's Micro-fil technology in it to give you smoothness and act like a...
I recently tried a few products from Thevi Cosmetics, which is a line founded by Thevaki Thambirajah. Thevi created the brand because she "could never find cosmetics in shades that suited her coloring." She wanted colors that were "rich and vibrant without being harsh," so Thevi Cosmetics was born as...

For Autumn/Winter, Givenchy's Dandy Collection is a nice mix of smokiness and ultra glossy lips. Givenchy continuously does an amazing job on packaging. The eyeshadow quartet is so portable and compact, and the polka-dot theme for both product packaging and the eyeshadow itself is adorable. However,...
I told you I made one purchase at Barneys, right? Well, that's the gloss I purchased. You look at it and go, "Sure, that's pretty, so what?"
Well, see how it looks on the lips...
You drooled over the promotional images and product shots of Dior's Impression Cuir collection, slated for Fall 2008. How about some actual product photos? Swatches? Even a bit of a review? Thought you might be interested! I was fortunate enough to be able to try out the Impression Cuir Eye Palette,...
In Bobbi Brown's Fall Mauve palette, it contains three shadows, three lip colors, and one blush. I'm much more pleased with this palette than say Bobbi Brown's Nude palette, because the colors show up on me a lot better. The eyeshadows include Navajo, which seems to make regular appearances in her...
